The batting dissapears as it nears the top of the quilt edge.
Recently I,Lilo (TQS Wizard), was finally getting around to completing my BOM project. Can you guess which year this one was? Hey, better late than never I say. I washed my batting and found that after sandwiching the quilt together that I was a tiny bit too short one one side. I did have a bit of batting left from another side that I was able to cut off and use.
As I was excited about the quilting part, I did not want to take the time to hand stitch the two batting pieces together. A guild friend (TQS member becca) suggested that I use a new product called Heat Press she had found to be fast and easy to use. This 1 1/2" tricot fusible was fast, easy, and very light. Let me show you how easy it was to use.
Lay the tape (rough side up) between the backing and existing batting. Leave about 3/4" extending. Place another piece of batting over the tape and butt up to (but not over) the existing batting.
Using a warm iron (NOT HOT), press along the joining pieces. The fusible will hold the batting pieces together and you are ready to quilt along to your heart's content. Love this stuff! If you have a great tip to share send it here.
